Look at the amount of money we've seen come in to the club through player sales , a contentious subject but none the less it's a fact .
We when I was growing up we were just a small run of the mill lower tier club , we are a bigger club today , take a look around Oakwell compared to the 70's , look at the stadium , academy and the facilities as a comparison .
In the 70's Peterborough were buying our best midfield player now we buy off clubs of that size and don't even think about it .
The level of football we expect to compete it is higher than it once was , 3rd tier was acceptable and now it isn't .
We've hitched a ride on this PL thing too when you look at it pragmatically .
